I think it is too early to judge Donahue and don't be surprised if BC is much better in 2-3 years. I hate BC students and fans but I like Donahue.

This moron just has a hard on for Donahue since he sent his kid to his basketball camp at Cornell.

Agree with Huskymaniac, he's better than this BC team has shown so far. He's unfortunately out of his element coaching a very different type of team than at Cornell, and has to prove himself on the non-Ivy recruiting grounds.

"Much better" is all relative, but whatever that saying is about letting the chef stock the cupboard applies.

He's not a bad coach - I'm just saying that if I'm in that position, I want to hire a guy who has proven he can win with some different teams and different personnel. Jim Calhoun did that back in the day (he won pre-Lewis, then took his program to another level with Lewis). Not that he's going anywhere, but Brad Stevens has actually done that - he won with the guys he inherited after Lickliter left in his first year, then he recruited a new batch of talent (Mack, Hayward, Nored) and won with them. Then won again after one of his key pieces (Hayward) turned pro early. Donohue won big with Wittman and Foote (the 7-footer) in back-to-back years - then clearly needed to get out of Dodge since he didn't have any talent coming in at Cornell behind them. Now he's at BC trying to recruit a different type of athlete than who he's been recruiting before, and competing in a league where wins are hard to come by. It could take him a while to get the program turned around - and in this day and age, nobody has the patience to wait.

I don't disagree that Donahue is a good coach. I just couldn't pass up the chance to call Huskymaniac a moron, which he is! ;^)
